138 families in the Pella area will be able to enjoy a full Thanksgiving meal Thursday, thanks to a little help from the Pella Food Shelf. Food Shelf Director JoNes VanHecke tells KNIA/KRLS News the “Thanksgiving Meal-in-a-box” distribution took place Tuesday night. The meal packages include a frozen turkey and many of the other food items typically included in a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
